Stacey Westfall freestyle horse riding.
I first saw this video on my sister's blog, and it moved me to tears then, and it still does every single time I watch it.
It's Stacey Westfall, and her championship ride at the 2006 American Quarter Horse finals, with her horse Roxy, aka, Whizards baby Doll.
No bridle. No saddle. No reins. No traditional equestrian clothing.
Just her and her horse.
What makes this video so awe inspiring, is that Roxy does everything with just voice commands and subtle hand gestures from Stacey.
Stacey dedicated her run to her father who passed away just 24 days before, and you would have to be a very cold-hearted person to not shed a tear while watching this.
As soon as the announcer chokes up while announcing her, I choke up, and then it's nothing but tears for the entire video.
It is really beautiful and moving.
